What's next, 200 passenger RJ's?

Herc will probably remember this, but in the late 1980's, the American Airlines pilots debated whether the Eagle pilots were worthy enough of being represented by the APA. There was even talk about the Eagle pilots on the AA seniority list, but they were not wanted by the AA pilots. Don't they wish that they were all together now, instead of being whipsawed against each other.

This set a precedent that held our entire industry back......... And it is proof that we must all stand together, more now than ever.

Until we collectively worry more about raising the pay of the lowest-paid RJ pilot than we do about raising the pay of the Senior B777 pilots, we as pilots collectively don't stand a chance...

The business reason for the RJ is all about pay.. And pay increases for RJ pilots needs to be our primary concern of all pilots. If not, we will soon see the 200 passenger RJ in our lifetimes.
